The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that Trump scored his largest lead yet against Biden in a new NBC poll when the truth is that he has been leading for years and this was just another poll showing him ahead. Secondly, the article quotes Steve Kornacki saying that this is the biggest lead NBC has ever had in 16 polls for Donald Trump over Joe Biden, but it fails to mention that these were all conducted before 2024 when Trump's popularity began to decline. Thirdly, the article states that former US ambassador to the UN and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley bested Biden in a survey, but this is not accurate as she did not run for president in 2024. Fourthly, the article quotes Matt Barreto flagging some concerns with NBC's sampling methodology which could affect its accuracy, but it fails to mention that these concerns were raised by him after the poll was conducted and cannot be used to discredit it.

Fallacies
(75%)
The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing the opinions of various polls without providing any evidence or context for their reliability. This is a form of informal fallacy as it relies on the credibility of external sources rather than presenting evidence from primary sources. Additionally, the author commits a dichotomous depiction when they compare Biden's approval rating to that of his likely opponent Trump without providing any context for how these numbers were obtained or what other factors may be influencing voter sentiment. This creates an either/or situation where only two options are presented as if they are the only possible outcomes, which is not accurate. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric when they describe voters' concerns about issues such as the border and inflation without providing any evidence or context for these claims. Finally, the article contains a fallacy of omission by failing to mention that Biden has faced criticism from some quarters for his handling of certain issues, which could have also influenced voter sentiment.
